Process Definitions: Options Tab

The Options tab of the Process Definition editing pop-up window includes the following controls.

Name Description Default Value
Default Output Format The Format to use for output files when the file extension cannot be automatically mapped to a Format.
Default Log Format The Format to use for the log files when the file extension cannot be automatically mapped to a Format.
Overview Format

You can use this field to control how the process displays in the diagram view for chains. The field can contain both free-form text and REL expressions. For example, you could use ${parameters.<parameter_name>} to display a specific parameter value (for example, ${parameters.VARIANT}). This is especially useful for duplicates of the SAP_AbapRun Process Definition.

Note: You cannot change the overview format of built-in Process Definitions.
